In physics, motion is the change in position of an object with respect to a reference point over a given time. Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and frame of reference to an observer, measuring the change in position of the body relative to that frame with a change in time. The branch of physics describing the motion of objects wi

"That which is in locomotion must arrive at the half-way stage before it arrives at the goal."
"The fulfilment of what exists potentially, in so far as it exists potentially, is motion."
"If everything when it occupies an equal space is at rest, and if that which is in locomotion is always occupying such a space at any moment, the flying arrow is therefore motionless."
"Newton... not only found a precise mathematical use for concepts like force, mass, inertia; he gave new meanings to the old terms space, time, and motion, which had hitherto been unimportant but were now becoming the fundamental categories of mens thinking."
"There are as many types of motion or change as there are meanings of the word is."
